Fuel tank removal? Pointy.
Can anyone advise on removing the tank, which is to be re-sprayed, from my 04 (pointy) SV650? I've got as far as propping the tank up, and before undoing the pivot bolts it appears there are three parts that need disconnecting:
1. The electrical wiring.
2. The fuel pipe.
3. The two two open-ended lines which run down the bike to near ground level (I' sure there's a proper term for them!)
It isn't too clear at which point I should disconnect each.
The wires feed in and out of a connector block which is easily accessed but appears not to have any join in it. I can see what appears to be another connector block behing the foil on the underside of the tank but I don't want to start undoing stuff unnecessarily. Similarly, the point at which to disconnect the lines and hoses isn't too obvious either.
And no, I don't want to have to shell out for a Haynes manual as I usually leave all this stuff for a proper mechanic!
Any ideas please?
